MANILA - Amid the danger from burning parts of the C-130 wreckage and the explosion of ammunition, paramilitary personnel Madzkur Isa Sahibbon and some of his companions braved last Sunday's crash site in Sulu to rescue soldiers hurt badly from what is regarded as the country's worst air accident involving a military aircraft.

"Pagbagsak ng eroplano, kahit umaapoy pa, at may mga balang pumuputok, 'di namin yun pinansin, basa't matulungan namin 'yung mga sundalo, kasi naawa ako sa kanila, muntik na silang masunog," Sahibbon told ABS-CBN News on Wednesday.

(When the plane crashed, we did not mind the flames and the exploding ammunitions, for as long as we can help those soldiers, because I really pity them. They were in danger of getting burned as well.)

Speaking by phone from his home in Indanan, Sulu where he was spending his rest day, the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) personnel said the tragic incident that left over 50 dead, mostly his comrades, remains fresh in his memory. Aside from the death of 49 military personnel and three civilians, the plane crash also left 46 soldiers and four civilians wounded.
